in thread This, too, was wasted on my wife.

Righty-right, o me brother.

Would you so kindly enlighten me as to the specifics?

It's one thing to say "it sucks." It's quite another to say "it sucks, because...."

At least the latter would help be to become a better programmer.

The former just pisses me off, especially from one who lacks the intestinal fortitude to take the trouble to identify him/herself.

    I agree. You can't say it sucks with out an explanation.
    As for me, I don't think it sucks. But I also don't think it is obfuscated. Perhaps this is because it is really similar to the program I posted a couple days ago in the obfuscated section and so I see exactly what it is doing. So while I don't think it sucks, I do think it is un-original and less then obfuscated.

    NOTE: I've noticed that this is actually filed under Craft, and not Obfuscated code... I would have sworn I saw this under obfuscated.

      It's not supposed to be obfusicated, hence it's inclusion in "Craft."

      As to the similarity to a previously posted node, please include the link as I would be interested in seeing it.

      Thanks!

      Addendum
      If My first attempt at obfuscation is it, I did see it (and even voted++).

      I agree that it is somewhat similar. Perhaps your code imbeded itself in my subconscious.

        Sorry, it sucks even worse as "Craft" than as "obfuscated". Indeed, it's hard to envision any possible intent for the code above than as "obfu". The fact that it prints JAPH is quite the giveaway. The fact that isn't particularly novel or obfuscated is pretty irrelevant.

        Between the mind which plans and the hands which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the heart.
